HOW IT WEARS
Belle de Grasse opens with the unmistakable earthy, powdery scent of Mimosa. A dry floral opening with a touch of Violet Leaf coming through creates a gorgeous, unique scent. Floral yet a dry, greener version of a typical floral. Belle de Grasse settles into a soft, earthy scent. The longevity is good, this is an Eau de Toilette so we get around 6 hours wear on the skin.
LORE LOVES
We love the unique quality of Mimosa – a note that is not the star in a lot of fragrances, there is such an interesting quality to it and we love how Fragonard has made it the star of this fragrance. And we’ll take a fragrance that transports us to the home of fragrance – Grasse!
